Wii Forecast Channel

[sn00p]

Woke up this morning, blue glow from the Wii....

...Forecast channel is live for what it's worth!

Edit: Actually it's quite cool in the globe mode. Just like your own weather map!

Yep, me too.

Gto excited when i sat the blue glow, though it was one of the geeks on here sending me a message.....i should be so lucky.

Didnt have much time to look as i had to sod off to work. What i saw looks cool.

lol. has to be connected online mate!

 

[paddymph]

what other online stuff can you access?
Do they have like a "live" service?

As long as you don't live in the sticks it seems to be ok, nearest forecast for me is about 50 miles away!

Globe mode is cool though, you can just rotate around the world and see what the weather is like at any given moment. Apparently games may be able to use the data (thinking Animal Crossing) in game as well.

News goes live on Friday apparently so expect another glowing console on Thursday night.
